speaking of republicans, a rising star, senator marco rubio had this response in the weekly gop response to the president. >> we must get the national debt under control. tax increases will not solve our $16 trillion debt. only economic growth and a reform of sbilgsment programs will help control the debt. we must reform our complicated uncertain job killing tax code by getting rid of unjustified loopholes. but our goal should be generating revenue by creating new taxpayers not new taxes. >>> so alex, the question, your initial question, can it get done? the answer is yes. joe biden joked yesterday he could run it up to the hill from the white house in 15 minutes and run it back and have the president sign it. maybe not that quick. but most people believe if the will is there and votes are there it could get done in relatively short order. >> that's the big question. the vice president would only be able to get that to send to the president if the republicans put something in the house they think will pass. when it comes to a vote, would they put anything up there they are 100% certain i

or is it to do it like senator marco rubio has suggested, one piece at a time? >> i would say you go all in. i think you have to be sensitive to some of the politics of it. but in reality given what the republicans faced in the election and the total rebuke amongst hispanic voters. the dynamics and the forces are there for immigration reform. more so now and that ever before. will it be difficult? yes, will it be complicated? of course. i think people have come to terms with the fact that you're not going to deport 12 million plus people. that's never going to happen. so let's find a way to do this in a decent, humane way. i think if we do it the country wins, it's not about a republican or democrat victory. >> joe, how would the gop react to a proposal for a path to citizenship. for the 12 million illegal immigrants who are living here. >> there's a shot to get this done. chris has spoken right. we have to consider what's best for the united states of america. and the best way for the united states to move forward is to listen to those, those voices of reason,

junior senator from your state from florida, marco rubio, telling politico's mike allen that immigration needs to be tackled issue by issue. take a listen. >> i think it needs to be dealt with comprehensively but not in a comprehensive bill. a comprehensive package of bills. the reason that's important is because each issue has their own constituencies and deserve to be dealt squarely for what they are. i think there's consensus on almost all of them. >> first of all, is that the best approach? and second question, which immigration issues do you feel are the most pressing? >> you know, i think marco was right on. that would be the best way to move forward. unfortunately, in washington, boast both in the house and the senate and the white house, they want to use those constituencies against each other to try to get more of what they want in the bill. the best way to do it would be to take each of the issues separately, deal with them, have open discussion and debate about them, and let the process work. but my guess is those that are at the top -- i'm talking about the leadership in both
